Dear Cyclists, Could any of you possibly take the time to explain to me, and presumably various other road users, what this business of riding a bicycle on the...
Why are you assuming that any of these idiots are on this e-mail group? It would be equally wrong to assume that any drivers who mount the pavement and...
I think that there is a general move towards impatience and lack of communal consciousness, which also explains why drivers have recently started to shoot out...
You may well be right in your first sentence and, indeed in your view about the problem of ignoring road rules. I wasn't assuming that the 'idiots' were...
Yes, good points. It's interesting to hear this side of the cycling behaviour, a sort of fool-hardiness, illogical invincibility. I experience a side of...

Hi, Just catching up on this. If more people are cycling then there probably need to be better rules to accomodate for that: for example reviews and surveys,...
There used to be a comprehensive system of cycling training in schools, including handing out Highway codes. There was even a voluntary motorcycle training...
Hi Royce, ... I wasn't thinking of anything specific apart from lack of cycle lanes - but if you put a load of car drivers in a room to make up the rules for ...

Hi all I've watched this thread with more than usual interest, being a former national vice-chairman of the Cyclists' Touring Club. I cannot but agree that...
Hi all Woodsy your point is just too right again! I was walking home last night, when a young girl (about 4) was hit by a girl on a bike, was this on road, no...
... Tut, tut! And here was me thinking that using the footway (pavement) for cycling had been illegal for well over a hundred years! Or could it be that Mr...
You may be interested to know of a project I am working on at the moment called 'Bike Guru'. From September to March a team of gurus will be available at...
it seems to me that most cyclists i have come across, break all the rules, are surly, think the roads were built for only them and are quite happy to run down...
Goodness, this one has got us all going. As a pedestrian, I've shared some of my views (critical of some cyclists) earlier in the discussion, and, I can...

I am a cyclist, car driver and pedestrian and would to add my point of view to this debate. I am really surprised at the anger directly toward cyclists on this...
Just a few points to this reply I do not know of car users that drive to high speed on the pavement telling the pedestrians to get out of the way, If car...
Surely solutions to the problem of cyclists who ignore traffic law are pretty much the point of the recent discussion? I seem to remember a number of...
Hi All, I don't know if anyone uses Facebook, but in the absence of an Easton Community Centre website (and a certain lack of webdesign know-how on my part!) I...
The poll has shown 7 votes FOR changing the setup and 1 vote AGAINST so far, with no new votes arriving for a few days now. As a result and because of the...
Hi Guys, This was sent directly to me, presumably by mistake - although maybe the writer thinks I have a car... For the record I agree with the sentiments...
I'm not in favour of Facebook being used instead of a website, given that Facebook members are generally in the 18-30 age group and generally of a similar...
Hi, The reason I have let Easton_Bristol know is because I am using easton_bristol to post information! I have also been using the ECP office and people, the...
Nice to hear from ECC. A few years ago this was the second most popular dance venue in the south of England. Made loads of money (although this did cause...
Just to let you know that it's the St Marks Road Street Party this Saturday starting at 11am. There's a carnival procession at 12noon, market stalls, ...
